        Overview

        The extended family are picnicking on the beach when a familiar-looking local appears from the dunes and runs away with the youngest of the three children. Mother has to fight him off, but ends up dancing with the fellow, accompanied by a percussion trio. However, Grandad lays the intruder out and he is ceremonially entombed in the sand, under a beach-towel. An improvised headstone marks the spot. There’s no sign of Father anywhere!
